I love building my own stuff. I build my racks from butcher block and black steel pipe. I built my cd and vinyl cabinets from the same butcher block with feet from black iron pipe. I built all of my power cables from Furutech components. The wife gets antsy if I order more butcher block because the fears I am going to buy another piece of audio kit....!
Maybe this is the winter you build something!
Hey it's me. Just reminding you to please consider building something this winter. From a new power cable to speakers, maybe new acoustic panels you DIY or even speakers or a sweet preamp kit.
You'll have a lot of fun, and learn a ton.
It's weird to me that when I suggest Audiophiles might enjoy building stuff themselves I get flack. "I don't like that! Stop promoting DIY! It will never be as good!"
Whatever. I think building is fun and educational.
